Kev Cane Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Very interesting, shame he never got to know that eventually he would have a massive impact somewhere after all of his endeavours.

Chalky Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Steve Green met I'm in a nursing home so pretty sure he was aware of the Mello 45's impact over here. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jim-T according to his brother-in-law Howard Govens (Jims that is not Silas) sure Andy or someone with investgation skill could find out - from this page https://www.evanwsmithfuneralservices.com/book-of-memories/1497650/Phifer-Silas/view-condolences.php?Printable=true Edited March 25, 2013 by Dave Abbott Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Doesnt mean Jim T sang lead though, maybe just one of the group? Obvious answer would be Edwin Johnson who sang lead on the Candi flip? Or is that too obvious, anyone compared? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
